Do you enjoy making sense of numbers, spotting
things that don’t quite add up, and building confidence in financial
information?
Good.
Because we’re looking for a Financial
Accountant who understands that behind every reconciliation, forecast, payment
run, and management report are real practices, real providers, and real
communities depending on things being done properly.
At thePHO, finance isn’t just about balancing
ledgers. It’s about helping ensure healthcare funding gets where it needs to
go. When the numbers are right, practices get paid correctly, decisions are
made with confidence, and resources reach the frontline faster.

operational teams to keep things accurate, transparent, and running smoothly.
You’ll be trusted to manage important details while also seeing the bigger
picture of how funding supports healthcare delivery across Aotearoa.

Working at thePHO | Mahi ki tePHO
We’re not a large corporate with layers of
management and endless bureaucracy.
We’re a national, remote-first team focused on
supporting general practice and improving health outcomes.
Everything we do starts with a simple question:
“Will this make life easier for practices and improve care for patients?” That’s
what drives our decisions. That’s why we keep the centre lean. And that’s why
we’re constantly looking for ways to reduce duplication, simplify processes,
and direct more support to the frontline.
We believe in practical solutions, strong
relationships, and getting things done. We work alongside clinicians, general
practices, Health NZ, and system partners to help create a healthcare system
that is more connected, more equitable, and easier to navigate. Our work is
guided by Te Tiriti o Waitangi and a commitment to improving outcomes for Māori
and all communities.
You’ll join a team where people are trusted,
supported, and encouraged to bring ideas forward. We value good judgement, good
humour, and people who care about both the details and the impact.
